“Andrew is an absolutely incredible teacher. His authenticity, open heart, and spot-on sense of humor helped me feel comfortable being my most vulnerable self.

Together with his amazing wife Gabriella, who assisted with about a million behind-the-scenes details, they created a community filled with a sense of deep belonging.

This experience helped me uncover some of the parts of me that were long forgotten, and some that needed mending. I now carry with me very valuable tools to stay centered in my everyday life and connect more deeply with the people around me. I am forever grateful for this beautiful experience.”

“All who are lucky enough to be your students receive the great gifts of your expertise, your humor, and your belief that we can all make a difference, one step at a time. It was such a great pleasure to meet you and to be guided by you. I hope to be able to repeat the experience in the future.”

I went to the Journey Back to Center Experience with high hopes but uncertain expectations. I had never done anything like it before and wondered if this could really be life changing? The answer is a resounding yes.

I was anxious, depressed, full of self-loathing, and miserable. I had lost myself somewhere in life and didn't know how to find my way back.

Andrew's skillful guidance gently awakened me to issues I didn't know I had. In a space that felt completely safe, I confronted those issues and found paths forward. And sometimes, just knowing a path existed was healing enough.

I strongly encourage you to experience what's possible for yourself.”

“I am honored to write a testimonial for Andrew and his Journey Back to Center Experience, especially now, as I have implemented a daily practice as a result of my attendance, and I continue to reflect fondly on this ever growing experience. 

On the way to the airport after leaving the retreat, I summarized the experience as 5 years of therapy gently nestled into one week along side 12 beautiful strangers, now friends.

The growth, healing, and spiritual centering have changed my essence. Thank you for your wisdom, love, hospitality, generosity and most of all, for being the beautiful person that you are.”

“Andrew's workshop gave me a profound sense of camaraderie and community, along with the gift of deep growth and inner discovery. It's a tremendous example of people working together in genuine support of each other, with benefits that last long after you leave.

Andrew is a dynamic, gifted facilitator who is patient, warm, and remarkably at ease leading people through some of life's hardest terrain.

The work can be challenging, but you'll grow more than you can imagine — and you'll actually enjoy the process. Worth every penny and every minute, and then some.”

“The reason I joined the Journey Back to Center Experience was because I felt stuck in dealing with my grief. I had no idea what to expect, but knew I had to do something.

When I left, I felt more connected to myself than I ever had before. More importantly, I found the confidence in myself that had been lacking.

Andrew shared so much with us, but what has stayed with me the most are the tools he gave us to manage and understand our emotions. I never understood that I needed tools, nor did I know how to ask for what I needed. Now I have "the right tools for the job," and I use them daily.

I'm living a truer and more rewarding life now. I have nothing but love for Andrew and the other participants.”

“I recently attended the Journey Back to Center Experience with Andrew. I found the workshop to be enriching and rewarding. Although historically, I have had experience with this type of event, it has been sometime since I have participated in a personal growth workshop. I was happy to see that Andrew creates a safe environment for all participants, no matter their previous experience in such work.”
